KENSINGTON, Pa., Sept. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The donor funded Kravinsky Literacy Program is back for year two at local Philadelphia high school, Liguori Academy. Zell Kravinsky, renowned utilitarian, philanthropist, investor, and educator has led the implementation of the Program with his unwavering contribution to the advancement of Liguori Academy and its students. Kravinsky is widely known for donating his kidney to a stranger, acknowledging the tremendous disparity in health equity specifically for lower-income black individuals. After the donation of his kidney, Kravinsky spoke to a group of Princeton Bioethics students and was later published in the New York Times justifying the donation mathematically, noting that the chances of dying as a result of the procedure would have been about 1 in 4,000. Kravinsky believed that, under the circumstances, "to withhold a kidney from someone who would otherwise die means valuing one's own life at 4,000 times that of a stranger", a ratio he termed "obscene."(1) 

Key Points: 
  • Zell Kravinsky, renowned utilitarian, philanthropist, investor, and educator has led the implementation of the Program with his unwavering contribution to the advancement of Liguori Academy and its students.
  • (1)
